      That has been the case for 40 years now but somehow people still believe him. He always reported false stuff, made up shit, fell for shilling (going all the way back to WCW producing the 78,000 Wrestlemania 3 lie), couldn't calculate (all his PPV buyrate numbers are completely wrong) and so on and so on. That he succeeded, when better Newsletter like the Lariat didn't, just shows that just like McDonald's, Amazon and Netflix, shit will ultimately somehow succeed if it screams the loudest.

The 83 weeks shows by Conrad Thompson are very good but he spend too much time saying "Meltzer would say" and "meltzer would give the match two stars". So rather than focusing on the action, bischoff would meander into talking about meltzer being full of shit again

      In HIS Reality WCW was "kicking WWfs butt" (what happened AFTER that, when NWO was formed!) and The Fingerpoke of Doom and Bischoff, Russo,Nash and Hogan are the reason for the Downfall of WCW! That whole Legend surrounding those 4 first destroying WCW and then destroying TNA is just made up by Dave and his goons!
      In Reality both, WCW in 1995 and TNA in 2009 were close to bankrupcy and brought in Hogan, Russo etc to save their company! But that didnt work! And then they used them as a scapecoat for their own stupidity...

    Wrestling is a form of Entertainment that Dave treats like a sport.. that alone should be a red flag.. What he does would be the equivalent of a journalist who only covers a TV show and spends all his time speculating on what's going to happen next and reporting spoilers. It would be like if a sports reporter like Ian Rappaport spent the entire night of the NFL draft tweeting out the picks before they happen. These reporters in those other industries could easily do those things, they have the knowledge.. but doing so would make no sense whatsoever because there is no value to it.. all you are doing is making the show worse. No one wants to know how a movie ends before they watch it. Contract disputes and things of that nature are different and there is obviously a role for Wrestling media in some respects.. but undercutting the actual content and grading matches on a star scale is childish.. it would be like a movie reviewer giving star ratings to the fight scenes in action movies.. people would understand that to be ridiculous because the fight isn't real... the drama that surrounds the fight is what is actually real, but thats not where Dave's autistic nerdy focus is because he's a mark for "workrate".

      The biggest issue with Dave is Dave is basically the equivalent of a fringe, B Movie "Journalist" whose Journalism is based exclusively around his favorite actors. He is the guy who if a Marvel Movie doesn't have his shitty straight to DVD Actor in it he works overtime to fling his shit at the wall and gnash his teeth that they picked a Marquee Actor for the main role, making up whatever bullshit he can dream up to try and discredit said Marvel Movie to his small amount of followers. When it inevitably fails and said movie is a Blockbuster success he tries making up more shit to fling on the wall while denying the movie or it's actors success.
      At least that's what I got from him back in the early 90's when I stumbled on the garbage that he churns out, going on and on about Tom Zenk and Jushin Liger being bigger draws than Flair and Hogan if only they weren't "held back" and allowed to showcase "work rate."

    A year later and someone sent Dave a video of The Rock and Triple H from a house show or something from 10 years ago of the 2 arguing and convinced him it was a segment cut from Raw of the two of them shooting on each other trying to get control over WWE and Dave didn't bother to look into it he took it as fact and immediately put out a story saying it was cut because HHH can't wrestle due to his heart condition and they didn't want people to think they were setting up a match but they were shooting on each other because they both want to be in charge of the booking and creative. Dave is a damn moron still spreading false information

    I have been involved tangentially, as Eric put it, with the wrestling business for 30 years, though I have never made my living doing it. I would not come close to calling myself a professional, but even I know the damage that Unka Dave has caused to the business, especially in the last ten years or so. He has changed the very nature of the business among modern fans. People like Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, and Orange Cassidy would have been laughed out of the business thirty years ago. Even Dave would have laughed at them. Today, thanks to their generous donations and skill at working him, they are getting five stars every time they get in the ring. Unfortunately, the modern generations have never seen real wrestling, so they buy into Dave's bullshit, and the new generation of wrestlers grew up thinking that this is the way it is supposed to look. Now, that fake video game bullshit is the norm in professional wrestling. As a result, wrestling is now less popular than is has ever been, due to the fact that there is only a small subset of fans that this type of wrestling appeals to. The popularity will continue to decline as long as Unka Dave continues to spread this disease within the world of professional wrestling.

    Dave yesterday said about Bray Wyatt not appearing in WWE recently and said it's not about his injuries but he can't say anything more but he knows...To me there is no such thing as "wrestling journalist"....The glaring thing to me is that neither Meltzer or Alvarez took time to go to Jay Brisco Funeral but did podcasts about how sad his passing was...I guess if you die and the funeral isn't in California or Seattle don't expect Meltzer or Alvarez to pay their respects...

    It seems Dave, particularly in more recent years, has stopped giving a fuck about the complete veracity of what he prints in his 'newsletter' and just acts like a huge troll towards anyone who remotely disagrees with him. He frequently hypes up his favorite wrestlers(Kenny, the Bucks) in his favorite company(AEW) as though the history of professional wrestling has lead up to their existence, downplaying or even straight up disrespecting the careers & legacies of people that came before them just to drive the point home that he's their fanboy. It's so freaking odd to see a man at Dave's age put forth so much effort at trying to appeal to the fandom of a niche brand of wrestling that came decades after he started his little publication.
    It really makes you wonder if you know just who people really are.

    Eric and I agree that Dave Meltzer is a "useful id/ot." "Wrestling journalists" are a joke, young journalists more so. "It must be true since it's on the internet" is their mantra. Remember when people fully believed that WWE has been sold to Saudi Arabia in a day and these wrestling journalists made a big deal out of it for one day that turned out to be false and some of them had to retract what they said because they didn't even bother making research? I laughed hard when they backpedaled on that one. And these people wonder why wrestling in general isn't being taken seriously by the average person when you've got people thirsty for any wrestling rumors while killing their interest in wrestling in general because of it. Social media and wrestling is like trying to mix oil and water.
